Cuisinart DCC-400 Coffeemaker User Manual

For best performance from your Cuisinart
®
coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to
time. The frequency depends upon the hardness
of your tap water and how often you use
the coffeemaker.
To decalcify, fill the water reservoir to capacity with
a mixture of
1
3
white vinegar and
2
3
water. Turn the
coffeemaker on by pressing the “On” rocker switch.
One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean
the coffeemaker. Turn the coffeemaker to OFF and
then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the
unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.
WARRANTY
THREE YEAR
LIMITED WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties on
the Cuisinart
®
4-cup Coffeemaker.
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart
®
4-cup
Coffeemaker that was purchased at retail for
personal, family or household use. Except as
otherwise required under applicable state law, this
warranty is not available to retailers or other
commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart
®
4-cup Coffeemaker
will be free of defects in material or workmanship
under normal home use for three years from the
date of original purchase.
We suggest that you complete and return the
enclosed warranty registration card promptly to
facilitate verification of the date of original purchase.
However, return of the warranty registration is not a
condition of these warranties.
If your coffeemaker should prove to be defective
within the warranty period, we will repair it (or, if we
think it necessary, replace it) without charge to you.
To obtain warranty service, please call our
Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your
return, please also enclose $10.00 for shipping and
handling of the product (California residents need
only supply proof of purchase and should call

also be sure to include a return address, description
of the product defect, product serial number, and
any other information pertinent to the product’s

Your Cuisinart
®
coffeemaker has been manufactured
to strict specifications and has been designed for
use with the Cuisinart
®
coffeemaker authorized
accessories and replacement parts for your model.
These warranties expressly exclude any defects or
damages caused by accessories, replacement parts
or other repair service other than those that have
been authorized by Cuisinart.
These warranties exclude all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not
allow the exclusion of or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,
California residents have the option of returning a
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was
purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells
Cuisinart
®
products of the same type. The retail
store shall then, at its choice, either repair the
product, refer the consumer to an independent
repair facility, replace the product, or refund the
purchase price less the amount directly attributable
to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If
either of the above two options does not result in
the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent repair
facility if service or repair can be economically
accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer
will be responsible for the reasonable cost of
such service, repair, replacement, or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart
for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling
our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-
0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of
the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling
for such nonconforming products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR
CUISINART
®
PRODUCT
Important: If the nonconforming product is
to be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s
Authorized Service Center, please remind the ser-
vicer to call our Consumer Service Center to ensure
that the problem is properly diagnosed, the product
is serviced with the correct parts, and to ensure that
the product is still under warranty.
